No,
you need to put the stock intake back on. It will fail visual.

Actually, you can legally pass with an open air filter as long as all of the sensors are in their stock location. CARB doesn't apply as long as the modifications are still being monitored by the OBD sensors in the stock locations. So a CAI will fail as they usually move the MAF and sensors, but an open air filter in the stock location will be fine.
I left my K&N on all three times I had my car smogged (at three different locations) with no problems at all.

I got turned away for my filter once, they let me go change it back to stock before doing the test. They said it would fail right off the bat unless there was a CARB number on it. Maybe they were just being overzealous?

Most likely they just did not know the laws completely. With CARB being such a royal pain in the rear, many places will error on the side of caution. Then again, many other places will look the other way for just about anything for the right $, so it goes both ways. Heck, I still have the CARB sticker that I got with my old Ranger's K&N drop in that I could just slap on anything. Well, if I still owned a car that is...

my SVT failed a visual with the KKM, but it pretty much all depends on 'who' you go to... if you pick jim bob's SMOG station it will probably be less of an issue than if you go to a state funded station  lucky me, my Injen CAI has a CARB Plate - i hope it works!

Failed smog today... I swapped out my SHO-Shop intake for the stock one then took it in to get tested. Comprehensive Visual Inspection: PASS Functional Check: FAIL Emissions Test: PASS I failed because I unhooked my battery from the car to swap out the intakes. They needed old records of my driving... Now I have to drive around 40 miles and get it retested. Also use up my lunch break again
